You can make a double size PP block by gluing 2 of them together. Convenient because when you bandsaw cut them you get 2 identical blocks from the same piece of wood.  You need to glue some scrap pieces behind them as support and to fill the minor gap, but no big deal.

I bought 3 prop blocks from Jake; 18", 22", 26". They are very nicely done. They will work for almost all models, from mini stick to F1D.

They are however not wide enough for a really big flaring Limited Penny Plane prop that has the spar on the trailing edge of the blade.

I highly recommend them.
